Around this production
Big Deal is a musical with a book by Bob Fosse using songs from various composers such as Ray Henderson, Eubie Blake, and Jerome Kern. It was based on the 1958 film Big Deal on Madonna Street by Mario Monicelli. The musical received five Tony Award nominations, with Fosse winning for Choreography. The production was Fosse's final work, as he died the next year.
In a painfully diplomatic letter to Fosse just as the show was loading into the Broadway Theater for its New York opening, the Shuberts gingerly enumerated several key concerns. Big Deal Bob Fosse and Dance In the American Musical Kevin Winkler Oxford Univer, p. 289
